Bargains Every Day.

The ladies are having perfect picnic this
week, shopping at the Bon Marche. This
house has made the current week an interest.
ing one by Offering bargains every day. There
isn't so much blow and froth about the Bon
Marche as there might be. for they tell us they
are not very ardent believers in that kind Of
notoriety, but they somehow ''get there"
when it comes right down to bargains In what
ladies are looking for. And, as a matter Of
course. the customers get there, too. And II
isn't to be wondered at. 1t Is pretty natural
for our wives and daughters to make 1t their
business TO drop into the store when they are
sure to find something marked for a "drve"
every day in the week. AS a legitimate busl-
ness method there is no nonsense about this

people held in slavery under a

litionist." A few years later, in
1862, when expressed my SYM
pathy for the good people OF the
